Thai Chicken Pizza

This pizza is a culinary journey to the streets of Bangkok, on an Italian base. The secret lies in the Satay-style peanut sauce, which is simultaneously creamy, sweet, and piquant. The fresh coriander and crunchy vegetables, added after baking, retain their freshness, creating a contrast with the hot, melted cheese.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, salt it, and fry quickly in a pan with a little oil just until it turns white.

Tip: Meat fibres contract from sudden heat, keeping moisture inside, so it doesn't dry out easily in the oven (protein denaturation).
2

Peel the carrot and cut into matchstick strips (julienne) or grate on a coarse grater. Slice the red onion very thinly.

Tip: Finely cut vegetables soften just enough during the short baking time but do not turn mushy.
3

Roll out the dough and spread evenly with half of the peanut sauce.

Tip: Due to the high fat content of peanut sauce, be careful not to spread too thickly or the pizza might 'run'.
4

Sprinkle with mozzarella, then distribute the pre-cooked chicken, half of the onion, and half of the carrot.

Tip: Layering is important: cheese anchors the toppings, and vegetables become sweeter when roasted.
5

Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the edge is golden brown and the cheese is melted and browned in spots.

Tip: Do not open the oven door unnecessarily, as temperature fluctuation harms dough rising.
6

Remove from the oven. Now sprinkle with the remaining fresh onion, carrot, sesame seeds, chilli flakes, and roughly chopped coriander.

Tip: The meeting of fresh and baked textures (hot-cold contrast) makes this dish truly exciting.

Recipe FAQ

What if the peanut sauce is too thick?
Loosen it with a little warm water or coconut milk until you get a spreadable consistency.
Can I bake the coriander?
Not recommended, as it loses its fresh, citrusy aroma and turns black. Always add it at the end.
